Hello FM friends! You know, as hard as it is to read about other members/friend's misery and pain, it validates to me that my FM is one nasty disease. Right now w/the damp, cold weather upon us, it is rearing it's ugly head in a big way.

Denise~ I am so anti meds too. I fight taking them, but after my Rheumy appt yest, I think my Dr finally got through to me. He changed my AD, upped my nightime med and told me to take my pain meds. I have so much daily pain that my body is constantly in an uproar trying to combat it, which he explained, leaves me suseptible to so many other ailments.

Lisa and Donna~ Your'e right too! I've had FM for a long time and I thought I had a handle on what it is about. It seems to change and of course, we all know how unpredictable FM can be. I have a book on FM, but think I need to reread it and re educate myself.

Donna~ Hope your'e healing; I am a "tripper and faller'' too. NOT FUN!

Have a good day all and thanks for the reminder that I need to treat my FM, not fight it.
